AutoSteps allows user to create jobs in two different ways:
- From Jobs: To create a new job click .
- From Scripts: From a script create a job.
Scripts
AutoSteps uses AutoHotkey allowing users to automate repetitive tasks in any windows application. Scripts run in an environment where many pieces of information are made available.
Executor Group
The grouping of executors allow users to submit jobs to specific executors depending on the group name. Users can specify different groups for all executors. Based on the group name executors will be selected and job will be submitted by performing load balancing among these executors.
Schedule
Schedule:You can add a schedule to a job. The user can add schedule to run these scripts to avoid having to configure every time via daily, weekly, monthly or custom intervals.
You will find the logs in the \AppData\Local\Scout\ExecutionDir. The file will be named same as the Script name with the date and time the script was executed.

After creating Jobs you can select multiple jobs SHIFT+Click to edit (change them to enable or disable) or delete the jobs. You can deselect a job by clicking again on it.
Default Scripts
You can select from some default scripts that AutoSteps already contain:
BTMutil Demo: This script demonstrates how to use the BTMutil supplied with the PerformanceGuard Agent. BTMUtil.exe is a small tool that is useful when you want to test your installation and when you want to time events in local scripts. See more about BTM via BTMutil.exe
Notepad Demo: AutoSteps uses BTM with AutoHotKey to run this script, execute it and then save the file in the default location specified in the Script. This also uses PGExtHelper for COM start-stop interface as BTM.
Outlook Mail Roundtrip: AutoSteps uses BTM with AutoHotKey to run and execute the script. The script will create an e-mail and send the mail to the recipient specified in the Script. This also uses PGExtHelper for the COM start-stop interface.
Overriding Job Parameters
AutoSteps allows you to override the executable parameters when creating/editing a job.
